Hello, one of my cats has a growth on her paw pad (I’ll include pictures) she has had this happen once before and the vet just cut it off when I had brought her in for her shots and annual check up. I was glad that it was no big deal and that it had been removed, however, I noticed a week or so ago that it had grown back. My cat is deaf and she completely loses her shit when we have to go to the vet and has to be sedated. It’s awful and is extremely stressful for her until they are able to get her sedated and then there’s the recovery from the anesthesia and it’s just a terrible day for her and I both. That being said our vet and I decided that it’s best for my Chinchoo if we try and put as much into each appointment as we can. I know that might sound bad but it’s more like if we have an emergency visit and her vaccines aren’t due for 3 more months still we go ahead with them anyways to prevent having to put her through the stress and sedation a second time 3 months later. So my question is well I have 2 actually.. the first being after looking at the picture do you think that her growth is on a weigh bearing part of her paw pad? She doesn’t show any signs of discomfort while walking around nor does she limp or favor that paw in anyway that I’ve noticed. My second question is would it be worth putting her through the sedation and anxiety and stress of the vet visit to have it removed? I’ve been going back and forth and worrying about it since I noticed it and I just want an outside opinion. I don’t want her to be uncomfortable or god for bid in pain everyday because of this thing but I also know the dangers of sedation and how hard it is on her when we have to go in so I’m not not sure what to do….
